Juggun Kazim Slams Littering on Murree and Nathia Gali Trails, Urges Tourists to Protect Nature
Islamabad: Pakistani actress and television host Juggun Kazim has expressed disappointment over the large amount of litter left behind by tourists on the scenic hiking trails between Murree and Nathia Gali, urging visitors to act responsibly and help preserve the country’s natural beauty.
In a video shared on social media, Kazim highlighted plastic bottles, food wrappers and other waste scattered along the trails. She said many people complain about the country’s problems, but meaningful change cannot happen unless individuals fulfill their own civic responsibilities.
“If everyone simply carries their own trash and disposes of it properly, keeping these places clean would not be difficult,” she said.
Kazim noted that she rarely adopts a harsh tone on social media but felt compelled to speak out because of the seriousness of the issue. She added that environmental pollution extends beyond visible litter and contributes to the growing impacts of climate change.
The actress said unusual weather patterns, including hailstorms during summer and unseasonably warm winters, reflect the environmental damage caused by human behavior, stressing that everyone shares responsibility for protecting the environment.
She also reminded people that nature is a blessing that must be preserved, saying that failure to protect it will ultimately affect future generations.
Appealing directly to tourists, Kazim urged them to take back not only memories and photographs from scenic destinations but also their waste.
“People visit tourist attractions in search of peace and cleanliness. Please do not leave your garbage behind and create problems for others,” she said.
Her message received widespread support on social media, with many users praising her for raising awareness about civic responsibility and environmental protection. Others called on authorities to impose fines on those caught littering at tourist destinations to discourage irresponsible behavior and help keep natural sites clean.
